Totally agree. I had a look at PageMill recently, and found it
very disappointing indeed. Not only did it crash a lot on my
CX (those interminable bus errors I seem to suffer lately) but
it wasn't very flexible either. No support for HTML 3 either.

Lindsey Davies has a bunch of free HTML extensions for BBEdit
that I think are the best solution for HTML on the Mac. It isn't
drag and drop or WYSIWYG, but I suspect they do help you write
good, carefully structured pages as they force you to think about
what it is that you want to do.

I got them off the Web somewhere -- sorry, I didn't keep the URL.
There are other BBEdit extentions, but I think Lindsays are the
nicest.
